Kirsten and family,I know from personal experience how hard it is to say good-bye to a father. I hope you can take comfort in your faith that you will all be reunited again in God's presence. That same faith will get you through this sad time. Celebrate your father's life and know that he left the best part of himself behind in all of you. God Bless...

Condolences from a good friend

My Father was the most terrific parent anyone could have asked for or ever wanted. He fought a hard long battle with cancer, and could no longer endure the suffering. We know he is in heaven, waiting for us there. We were lucky to have him in our lives, and will always treasure his memory forever. I love and miss you Daddy, See ya sometime.....
